Autogen develops computer program to search for genes

Australian biotech Autogen Ltd says it has developed a computer program which would revolutionise the search for disease causing genes.

The company said it would make the program available free to all academic institutions and their researchers.

Autogen said its "GeneSniffer" program would allow scientists to search through all published gene databases in just minutes.

Previously such gene searches could take weeks to find the desired match, Autogen said.

Autogen said there were many errors and gaps to be filled in the current public databases which provide information on genes and mining through this information was tedious and time consuming.
